====================================
"I Really Didn't Die"
They say that life is fleeting I know that this is true,
I left this world so quickly, with no goodbye to you.
I know how much you'll miss me, your tears fall ever light
The pillow where you lay your head is wet with them at night.
I know your heart is hurting, the words we left, unsaid.
The "I love you's" left unspoken, are spinning in your head.
The strength that I have carried that served to make you whole,
Remains to make you stronger, within your grieving soul.
For you see, while you were weeping on the day I passed away.
At the grave site near the flowers where my loved ones knelt to pray.
An angel came to see me, she took me by the hand.
She led me to a kingdom in a very distant land.
As I look down from heaven and see you standing there,
Your heart so ever burdened with more weight than it can bear.
I long to bring you comfort, I long to give you peace,
I long to hold you closely and cause all your tears to cease.
The joy I've found in heaven goes far beyond compare,
The love that's so elusive can be found here everywhere.
The light is softly shining there's no storm clouds here or rain,
There are no teardrops found in heaven; there's no suffering, no pain.
You needn't be so troubled, stay close to God and pray,
That someday we'll be together one bright and glorious day.
So my family and friends, you shouldn't question, nor should you cry,
I've gone to be with Jesus, I really didn't die.
====================================
"I'M FREE"
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard His call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life was full; I savored much,
Good friends, good times, and also
A loved one's special touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undo grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me,
God wanted me now...He set me free.

"Be Grateful"
You can shed tears that she is gone

or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow & live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her, only that she is gone
or you can cherish her memory & let it live on.
You can cry & close your mind, be empty & turn your
back or you can do what she would want.
Smile,
Open your eyes,
